Steven Song is the Director of Design and Business Development at INNO Hospitality.
Prior to joining INNO Hospitality. Steven has practiced with VIUM, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Arquitectonica, MADA s.p.a.m., Urban Design Associates, and Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates in New York, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. In 2007-9, he collaborated with Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown on "Shifting Paradigms : Renovating the Decorated Shed," an essay which adapts their earlier thesis to address the changing conditions that young architects today will face. His latest essay "Architecture in the Givenness : Toward the Difficult Whole Again" is about principles in architecture that persevere: the orientation toward the truth in architecture is toward an understanding of what it means to be in the world, in harmony, with others. The essay suggests that our version of the ‘difficoltà’ is the participation in the dialogue of the open society through the difficult, inclusive composition of ‘being here, therefore everywhere’ rather than the easy unity through exclusion.
Steven's almae matres studiorum are University of Pennsylvania and Carnegie Mellon University.
